BUT... if there was a year for big signings it's this one. We have cap space, a lot, when others don't. The market is flat, so the price shouldn't be driven up. There are a number of options out there. If you're a FA, looking to win, you can't go wrong with a Vezina goalie. Centres will get an astounding opportunity to play with top tier wingers.

A Covid relief bill has been sitting untouched in the Senate since May. But, Trump just said it won't be dealt with until after the election but he wants his judge in place now. And the market is dropping. At least the markets know that Biden will be there soon to save the day, as is the responsibility of all Democrat Presidents. Republicans ruin the economy, while getting fewer votes than Democrats and the Dems have to save them.

I don't know. What, objectively, can the Jets get in FA? A 2C (without overpaying for too long)? A RHD (without overpaying for too long)? It's still Winnipeg. We are still hampered by image issues and higher taxes. Why come here when you can go to Vegas or Florida and take home more money?

This guy is only president because the "free" media gave him unfettered access to the airwaves without pushback. Fox pulls his pants down daily and takes turns pleasuring him. His entire term is one big dumpster fire and no one objectively can deny this. The US is laughing stock. And, yet, people are still wondering if Biden might be losing his marbles (without actual evidence) because the orange turd keeps saying it.

Free agency will tell us what needs to be done. If the Jets can fill their two biggest holes, 2C and 1/2 RHD, we're probably not moving Laine this year.

If it was just a made up rumour, Chevy would have dispelled it. He did not. But, who's going to pay what Laine is worth, when he's only under contract for one more year and has arbitration rights. It's a tough trade to get full value unless the team can extend him at the same time.

It should be noted that this is an outlier. The polling average is about 8-9 % lead. Still...

Now, CJOB needs to get Huss* back over there. Let Paul do the drive on TSN1290. *I hope his recovery is going well and he can get back. Sure, but if he still wants to do both, like he has, will he get that choice?

What about Paul? He does radio when TSN (TV) does not have the broadcasts.

Broadcasters seem to hang on for a long, long time, But, would Dennis retire?

Oh, geez, I hope not. Last thing we need is LESS Bomber coverage. Moose games will be online.
-
Around The NHL 2019/2020
Power will carry the broadcasts, while OB will carry everything else. It's a good solution, so that we don't have worry about the CFL coverage. I still worry that it will be degraded but not while Bob is there.

Looks like Power 97 will carry the Jets games. Phew. TSN just announced that they're continuing to carry the local Jets games. TSN (Regional) for TV and CJOB for radio. I look forward to the new TSN1290: Home of No Sports.

So, we can look forward to the Jets pre-season cutting into Bombers coverage?

True. The only thing they need to gut are some interior, non load-bearing walls. Pretty simple stuff. The actual structure is remarkable. For the purposes we were exploring, it would have had some heavy duty requirements and this structure would have met them.

Their consistency is in their inconsistency, though. The zig and zag and keep everyone on their toes. I can totally understand Trick or Treating. That should be pretty low risk for the kids as long as they're not going inside.

As long as Walter Reed has Fox News and wifi, the President can continue to do the work he would normally do. He'll miss his important golfing this weekend though.
